How to apply
Applying after the UCAS deadline
If you have used all of your UCAS choices on your application form and are not holding any offers you can still make an application to become a Citizen of Change at the University of Leicester.
UCAS Extra opens on 23 February and it’s really simple to add an extra choice to your existing application. All you need to do is find a course that’s right for you on our website, check out our vacancies on the UCAS search tool and add the course details to your existing application. We will then consider your application and reply!
If you haven’t made an application through UCAS yet, don’t worry you can still apply. Just check out our vacancies on the UCAS website and follow our six steps to applying below.
Step 1: Register with UCAS
UCAS (University and Colleges Admissions Service) is the organisation that manages applications to all UK universities. So before you start, you will need to set up an account on the UCAS website. It’s quick and simple.
Step 2: Choose a course
Find the course that’s right for you. Look at the range of core and option modules. Is there an optional year abroad, or year in industry? When you need it, our institute code is L34.

This will usually be from a teacher at your school or college. If they tell us how much you’ve impressed them – we’ll be impressed too.

You pay a small administrative fee to UCAS when you apply. This covers applications for up to five courses at different universities.
Step 6: Hit submit
Once your UCAS application has been sent off, each of your universities will consider your application and reply – usually with either a conditional offer (grades they want you to achieve) or an unconditional offer.
